       I need the users to have local home directories. I can't add the
       nonlocal groups to the local users because then remote users won't
       appear in the remote groups, thanks to nss_nonlocal.

       I can think of two improvements we might make:
   
       1. Adding a local user to the nss-nonlocal-users group could allow
       them to be added to nonlocal groups.
   
       2. We could make an nss-nonlocal-users user, such that adding it to a
       local group causes nonlocal users to be added to the group.

Although we should deal with renumbering mit or whatever we choose to do (see #299) eventually, that's not going to happen soon. In the meantime, it's kind of useless to keep syslogging

etc. since that message doesn't help anyone: users don't care, and the Debathena team isn't taking any additional action because that message continues to appear on everyone's system.

I see three mostly-reasonable courses of action:

1. Special-case libuuid/mit in the logging function
2. Suppress this error entirely -- have we seen it be useful for debugging?
3. Don't print the error more than once per session (although "session" probably poorly defined for an NSS module)

Due to the  /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib → /usr/lib32 transition (eglibc 2.9-14), lib32nss-nonlocal is broken on squeeze now.
